Bug Description
I wrote a Python 3 script which scans directory trees, and outputs various filenames (with path) to the terminal, as the files are being hashed. When the following filename was to be printed, gnome-terminal stopped printing output with the cursor where the question mark would have been printed out:
._13 Trapezoid singâ?€.mp3
When I interrupted the program using keyboard interrupt, much more output was displayed, indicating the script had continued to run, despite the output stopping after "â".
I navigated to the directory and tried using ls, which was able to print the filename without issue.
I tried using: find `pwd` -name *Trapezoid*
This also displayed the filename, with full path, correctly.
I tried running the script with terminator, which had no problem printing the filename and continuing on with the rest of the output as expected.
Terminal output at freeze, and after keyboard interrupt shown in the cropped/pixelized screenshots here: http://
Gnome Terminal version: 3.18.3
Ubuntu 64 Gnome Edition
